mail/qmail-spamcontrol was recently updated (thank you maintainer!), including the RECIPIENTS module, as of around qmail-spamcontrol-1.03.2520 (19 Feb 2009). This release no longer supports destination (rcpt to:) user addresses containing more than one VERP character.
Fix:
Workaround involves adding each discrete address with more than one VERP to users/recipients, in this example adding
hg-this-doesnt@queue.to
and running qmail-recipients
How-To-Repeat: Starting state:
- VERP is the default hyphen character
- Local user and address in users/recipients is 'hg@queue.to'
- .qmail-thisWorks and .qmail-this-doesnt exist in ~hg
telnet to the MTA, after heloing issue
rcpt to: <hg-this-doesnt@queue.to>
550 mailbox doesnt exist is returned
rcpt to: <hg-thisWorks@queue.to>
220 Ok
And that one works
